Heres the monitor screen after 10mins at idle......



Yesss!!!! The beast idling at 46 degrees centigrade!!!! WOW!!!!! Thats some improvement!!!

Well,the fan speed(RPM) is '1' : Ridiculous as it may seem,its because the fan has only 2 connectors! But have a look at the fan speed(%),6%. Now,thats real silent!

Heres a 3dmark 2006 v1.1(Feb 08 Hotfix applied) run report.....

have a look at the techpowerup forums and learn about their RBE(Radeon Bios Editor) tool....it might help

+123456789

thanx for support bro!!!!

btw,when r u getting ur card?

i think i will be geting my dell monitor within this week.....with all my limitations(and requirements),what is ur opinion abt my choice of lcd?

Did u see the pics?

UPDATE:

Heres the temp after 10mins of Atitool action with 'Show 3d view' enabled



Thats an amazing temp! 68 degrees centigrade!!! 8)

[imgame2]

oh i will be getting my card by this week-end tomo i have to hunt for the lowest prices i can get for the card in my place ....and with ur budget i think i would have chosen the same monitor its good enough ....cos dell warranty is just awesome and its worth every penny u spend and its the best 19" out there ..

+ i don't know about the RTC error and all ...but u don't have much choices ...so i think its best for u ...and i m sure... u will be blown away ..specially since u will going from CRT to LCD ...u will love every bit of it once u get it ....and within a week u will forget any shortcoming people talk of !!

plus i saw the pics and m very glad that there is no need for even fan tweak ...

but do post some eye candy pics from some game i would love to see it ...

[Shloeb]

3D Mark PIC.

Just post yours

@mukherjee, close unnecessary processes and disable antivirus too if possible. Then u'll even get a better score than me.

[yesh1683]

Finally got my radeon HD4850 from Xpertvision from lynx india for 9.4k including all charges and shipping
The brand is actually palit, because in their website they actually using word palit cards
and also this is almost same palit design

itz not default card it has large heatsink and two power connectors so it runs cooler i think

but not installed in system yet as i am getting new PC soon

Here are the pics

[Ethan_Hunt]

No point cursing myself for buying it a few weeks earlier but I'll start posting my scores once I reinstall XP afresh.

For now my temp idles @52 degrees with 65% fan speed.Loads go to max of 77 degrees.Am pretty satisfied with it.

Guys can we skip the 3Dmark scores & get down to some real time gaming benchmarking.

[Shloeb]

^^ He has a valid point there.

[hellgate]

got my Palit HD4850 2day.ran a 3DMark06 bench and scores r pretty good.

got 14677 3DMarks.thats good 4 the starting.



will try oc'ing it more in the future.the best part is the psu that i'm running it with.its a GlacialStars 500W psu which costs just 1.3k.

[Shloeb]

Thats because of ur CPU. 3D Mark 06 is very CPU dependent. Even a overclock of 200Mhz can jump up scores by 1-2k

[hellgate]

attained a max oc of 691MHz on core and 1069MHz on mem.didnt do any modds till now.oc'd using AMD gpu clock tool.
3DMark06 score is 14864.(SM2.0 -> 5836; HDR/SM3.0 ->7538; CPU -> 3652)

[imgame2]

guys which drivers u are using please post that too ....

[hellgate]

i'm using Catalyst 8.8 for all my testing.
OS is Vista Ultimate 32bit

[imgame2]

great but catalyst 8.8 locks the maximum overclock to 685 MHz compare to before 725MHz u are using the ati tool available at techpowerup ...???

[hellgate]

^^ yup i got it from techpowerup.

[imgame2]

great!!! ...by the i also got my palit HD4850 today it idles at 49 deg ...is it fine ....???

[hellgate]

the temps r good.no probs.
